                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the heroism, sacrifice, 
  and service of former South Vietnamese commandos in connection with 
        United States armed forces during the Vietnam conflict.

Whereas South Vietnamese commandos were recruited by the United States as part 
        of OPLAN 34A or its predecessor or OPLAN 35 from 1961 to 1970;
Whereas the commandos conducted covert operations in North Vietnam during the 
        Vietnam conflict;
Whereas many of the commandos were captured and imprisoned by North Vietnamese 
        forces, some for as long as 20 years;
Whereas the commandos served and fought proudly during the Vietnam conflict; and
Whereas many of the commandos lost their lives serving in operations conducted 
        by the United States during the Vietnam conflict: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress recognizes and honors the former South Vietnamese 
commandos for their heroism, sacrifice, and service in connection with 
United States armed forces during the Vietnam conflict.
